Measat 3a sets August launch
Asian satellite operator Measat’s fourth satellite, Measat 3a, has been scheduled to launch on August 21. Constructed by Orbital Sciences Corp, MEASAT-3a will be launched on a LandLaunch Zenith–3SLB launch vehicle.
Measat 3a will broadcast from the 91.5 degrees East slot, operating in tandem with Measat 3 at the same location and providing in-orbit satellite redundancy services for key customers. Paul Brown-Kenyon, COO of Measat, said: “With the growth of our DTH and video distribution services, the take-up of capacity on MEASAT-3 has exceeded our initial projections. The launch of MEASAT-3a will allow us to continue to grow the organization, developing 91.5°E into one of the region’s key satellite orbital locations” Source:Rapid Tv News |
